Having real problems with the site tonight. Everything really slow to respond, and every now and again am told the FOC-U page cannot be displayed. Is this my end, or anyone else experiencing the same?

I have managed to acquire a basically new r6 shock ,what I need to know which dog bones to get, on eBay there are some that say a 25mm lift at the back, would these be ok? they don't list the hole spacing but I should be able to find out. id there a hole spacing I need to get or will a 25mm jack up kit be ok?

Is anyone going to the BMF at Kelso on the 5th 6th 7th July? I will be there with the Bandit Owners Club if anyone wants to come and say hello! 'I have been a member of them for the last 5 years and this year will be the second time I have made it to Kelso (that's as long as I make it)! I only managed 31 miles of a 1000 mile round trip last year before dropping my 1200 bandit on my right leg busting it badly so I am really looking forewards to it this year. My name is Richard Holland or Fatherbiker on the BOC . See you there guys!

The yound lad Glynn, who we had a ride into Wales with has done the  stupid !!!!! you know,riding over well known local stretch of road over a blind hump and :eek    tractor!!!!!!!!!!! :\


Fractured skull, mashed up leg and alot of other bits, not known yet, last night he was racing towards his home on the bit of road he knows so so well and threw caution to the wind,,,,,just don't do it folks,,,  this time mr tractor was there,,,BANG, ,,lucky to be alive , poor lad,


this happened last night, he is now in intensive care, we are waiting for more news,


he works in our local plumbing merchants with my daughter, so alot of concern.

How about a section to tell other travellers where to stay, home and abroad, i and lots of others have travelled into lots of euro countrys and can give places to stay.

Devilsyam frame caps have reminded me that I need to try and source a low profile oil filler cap as I keep catching the stock one with my leg.

The type I have know I have seen are the ones with an allen bolt hexagonal hole socket in it..

Any idea's where I can get this from..?

Helllo everyone,

I have a problem with the fazer...its melting the head unit fuse the middle one (20amp). The speedo is not working and the rev gauge is intemittant. I have been advised that it is shorting out somewhere and to check the earths? However I cannot find the earths...probably me being stupid!
Please could anyone advise / suggest where to look ect?

Many thanks!!

Will

Hi all,my gen1 fazer 1000 had a siezed,butcherd exup valve and housing on it when I bought it 8 months ago.took the parts in to a local engineering company,who gave me the news they were fooked.I looked at buying new, forget that idea have you seen how much they are.a local mate told me the early R1s 98-01 fitted straight in,so I took an ebay gamble and bought a complete set of downpipes with exup valve and all fittings for £30.00.stripped and removed the exup valve cleaned all fittings,fearing the worst it wouldn't fit but only £30.00 down,it fitted straight in.if this is old news to fellow owners soz.but the gamble saved me a fortune on new parts.and the working valve has made a huge difference to the way the bike runs,so there is a benefit to having it working.
cheers Andy.
